When cattle move about the country so do the worms and germs they carry. Boehringer Ingelheim’s David Shirbroun, DVM, shares the challenges of worm management and how extended release dewormers can benefit producers with cattle pastured more than a month.
One thing producers might not realize is that the peak level of larvae in the pasture is reached toward the middle to end of summer, months after cattle have been turned out. With a traditional dewormer that lasts maybe one month, the product has already worn off when we hit that peak infestation level, so cattle will be reinfected if they don’t receive another dose of dewormer.” – David Shirbroun, DVM
